Roll 'em!
One of the more enjoyable 'mini-games' in Halo multiplayer is Jousting; Warthogs square off, usually on Blood Gulch, and ram each other, head-on. The intention is to knock the opponent out of his hog (and then run him down, of course). Several films have incorporated footage from games like this... but they've always left me feeling like something was missing. I thought that perhaps this style of gameplay was better suited to actually PLAYING than watching. Now, however, there's a film on the scene that shows me that all it takes is timing, a great score, and an eye for theatrical flips - this style can work VERY well on film. Check out Fun With Vehicles (not to be confused with Vehicle Fun, released some time ago), an almost-3-minute, 15 mb QuickTime movie with perfect musical choices and some great camera shots. (If you can mirror this film, please let us know.) Update: Eric Jourdan has added another mirror for this file. (See the mirrors list for a link.) Thanks, Eric! (Louis Wu 14:10:40 UTC) (permalink)
Downtime coming up
Just a heads-up - an upstream router is undergoing maintenance this evening; most of bungie.org (excluding HBO, but not its forum) will be offline from roughly midnight to 6 am. There's nothing wrong, it's just a hardware upgrade. We apologize for the downtime. (Louis Wu 01:30:57 UTC) (permalink)
Tinker to Evers to Chance...
BOLL has created a nice Flash animation showing the cool bumpmapping of the Halo 2 Master Chief. We'll add it to the Miscellaneous section soon. (Louis Wu 01:24:23 UTC) (permalink)
